MikeTill- just bought a 2016 Punto 1.4 petrol. 80K miles and little or no service history. No evidence of cambelt/ waterpump replacement which will be the first mechanic's job while I faff about with oil and filter changes

So, cambelt, waterpump, serpentine belt, oil & filters replacements all done. Not many miles covered so far but already feels more comfortable to know the basics are dealt with. Other than that, a couple of issues- hill holder warning light comes on after 15 minutes or so and the clutch pedal is a lot higher than the brake pedal. Both were noted during test drive but not sure how to fix yet.

Finally, amazed how many newbies have signed up in the last month since I did. Hopefully that's a good sign
